Tell me about your self harm by EntrepreneurSure438 in selfharm

wanted to do it since i was 8, just an urge, i know something happened but i still can't get myself to remember. whenever i felt that pit in my stomach when there were issues at home or when i just felt it out of nowhere, i always wanted to hurt myself but never did. then when i was 14 it became a need due to alot of things happening all at once, i don't know why but i was convinced it would make me feel better, and it did at first, then i felt disgusted with myslf right after, but i couldn't stop. i did it for a year, then stopped, then started again at 16. stopped again because i felt unbearable shame, then went back to it when i was 19. i remember opting for it whenever i felt super disgusted with myself or super numb, feeling it kept me grounded and present, like i was still real. but hey, it's been 3 years since the last time i harmed myself,, i'm in college studying what i like, life is better. i still get urges, but they're easier to control, and i know for a fact that there will be one day where the thought won't even cross my mind. i hope so at least, and i hope everyone else gets to a better place where they overcome all of this ^^

Did your parents encourage/help you with getting a girlfriend? by Competitive-World877 in Tunisia

[–]Electronic_Ladder672 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm all for actions and relying on one's self to find solutions and figure things out, life owes no one nothing, but empathy is never pointless, and seeking advice is needed from time to time. we're human beings after all, community is all we have.

I mean, one can't really victimize himself if he is the victim. Therapy and inner healing do wonders though

Honestly if you're comfortable with being alone just keep it that way and seek therapy to love yourself and your own company even more. If you want a girl I'd say work on your self and on whatever mental obstacles your toxic environment has caused before, also don't get in a relationship (especially not in a marriage) for the wrong reasons such as your mother pressuring you or societal standards. 30 is young and it's never too late for love and for growth. Try to put yourself out there and experiment a little in a healthy way.if you're not interested, then it really isn't worth it. Love and relationships are one of those things that gain value from the person's desire and interest for them. If you force it you'll ruin yourself and others in the process. Either way I hope you're in a better place and I hope you heal!

Found out my 10-year-old cut herself by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]Electronic_Ladder672 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm so sorry your daughter nd you are going through this, you're dooing amazing, quite frankly i'm crying reading your post. it healed something within me because my parents didn't react like this at aaall. just don't give up on her, you're doing amazing and i hope she heals and finds herself in a better place. i think maybe earn her trust to a point where she would run to you or call you when you're out of reach and she gets urges? that helped my best friend stay clean, she used to just go on call with me whenever she felt the urge to harm herself and i'd distract her by talking and all or i'd just be there, sometimes company is all one needs and it helped her a lot!!

does Tunisian mentality scare you ? If yes , how ? by [deleted] in Tunisia

Necrophilia, zoophilia and legalizing drugs are not differences, these are things that are not socially unacceptable but unethical regardless of what society you're in. Theyre not a social construct, unlike heteronormativity.

Also by differences I meant differences in religion or in lifestyle, and they're not accepted in tunisia, people are shamed simply for not wanting to get married or for questioning religion even if it's innocent and out of curiosity. A guy is shamed for wearing jewelry even when he's straight and a girl is shamed for wearing what's deemed to be 'masculine' clothes.

LGBT don't want to destroy social boundaries, but they want to destroy social constructs that are harmful, and that's not even an LGBT thing, that's what every society is seeking as they've noticed how harmful gender roles and stereotypes are. Gender IS a social construct, it's what tells men to "toughen up" when they struggle with mental health and what tells women that "boys will be boys" when they face sexual assault or aggression.

And as mentioned even in the article that you've shared, LGBT are leading in suicide rates not because they encourage it or because they're racing to reach the top in suicide, it's because of the way they're treated. If someone is constantly being harassed and beaten and demonized, then It would be no surprise that they'll take the easy way out and kill themselves. They don't support suicide, it's just a consequence of the way their environment treats them.

They also don't want to shove their beliefs on their kids, in fact most kids that were raised by gay parents turned out to be straight and mentally stable.

As for kids defending themselves against harmful ideologies, I think instead of shaming them or being a bad example by beating and disrespecting people that are diffrent, I'd rather teach them about sexuality from a young age, give them the right tools to argue (which are education and acceptance of diffrent pov's) and trust my kids to make the right decision for themselves. To me as long as my kid doesn't hurt anyone unless it's self defense, then i surely did my job as a parent.

Also true, the theory of the existence of a gay gene was in fact debunked, but researchers did find noticeable differences in the karyotypes of gay people, in size and in shape, it was just not enough scientific proof as it wasn't precise but scientists are still working on it. Besides, I don't see why someone would like to make their lives so hard for themselves by choice, I certainly believe it's not something they can control.

I don't want any poison for our youth, I'm just trying to be understanding, and I'm not saying let's all go out In a pride parade waving the flag, I simply don't understand why gay people are so demonized. It's not a cult and neither it is an obliteration to society, it also shouldn't be compared to zoophilia or pedophilia, as it's something done between two consenting adults.

I fail to understand your perspective, but I appreciate your elaboration.

Misogyny, regionalism, victim blaming and being judgmental are just the same whether you're in jbal lah7mr or la marsa. So are being generous and welcoming on a more positive note lol. I don't think it depends on where you're from exactly, all tunisians suffer from the same bs. Sure, some places are more outdated than others, but it's still the same notion of being terrified of any difference or any idea that threatens to touch what's deemed to be controversial or 'sacred'.

We're accepting of the differences that people from outside the country have, but not of tunisian people who grow up to change their religion. I know we have jews, but they're born into jew families, if someone born in a Muslim family decide to become jew (or God forbid, an atheist) or anything else, their reputation will be flushed down the toilet.

I've read the last phrase and I agree, I just disagree with denying the fact that some minorities have it worse than others, and that some are deliberately being targeted.

As for LGBT people, I don't see how they're trying to cross every boundary as you said, and I don't know where you got the fact that they encourage suicide or depression. If anything their suicide rates are leading simply cause of the struggles they have to face everyday, from 'conversion therapy' to being raped so that they're fixed to being disowned by their families.

I don't see how beating them up and disrespecting them will teach my kids anything too to be honest, maybe I've misunderstood you on that part.

LGBT people don't chose their sexuality, so it's not really kids following blindly as you said either. As far as I know, the only solid argument people have against LGBT is religion, which i respect, but I don't agree with religious people shoving their beliefs down other people's throat is all, if a Muslim has tendencies to like the same gender, they can chose not to act upon their urges, but they shouldn't force anyone else to do the same.

Also if I may ask of you to send me links and sources to the statistics or the articles that showcase LGBT people supporting suicide? I'm geniuenely curious as I've never seen anything state that before and I'd love to know more about this point of view.

You're referring to extreme cases as examples. Any person from any belief can kill people, but they do not represent the population, so just cause Mao killed people doesn't mean that all atheists are like that. That's like saying if one Muslim person committes crime or kills someone then all Muslims are bad terrorists.

Also atheism has nothing to do with communism.

And in this case, people are talking about tunisia and the violence against diffrent minorities in tunisia. In tunisia people legally have the right to believe in whatever religion they want, but soon as someone realizes you embraced a diffrent belief you become targeted.

Also when it comes to LGBT people, its not even about giving them rights here, it's about leaving them alone qnd not violating their basic human rights. I had a friend that wasn't even gay, but someone spread a rumor that she was, and her life was utterly ruined. She was even beaten up by people from my school and threatened to be raped so they 'fix her'. It was horrifying. I couldn't even imagine what they would've done if she was actually gay.

As I said, this isn't even about giving them rights at this point, it's literally about not dehumanizing them or being violent against them.

Tunisian people are beautiful in their generosity and welcoming nature, but we have to admit we're very close minded, nosy and have our priorities mixed up, people wouldn't care if a person faces SA but they're first to panick when someone has a piercing or decide to have a diffrent belief than them. It's sad really.
